Seven Ways a Man Can Woo His Lady
Put the toilet seat down
Guaranteed if you�re not a conscientious seat-putter-downer, you hear this complaint so often that it flies in one ear and out the other. Well, boys, there�s a very valid reason this is a common kvetch: WOMEN DON�T LIKE FALLING INTO THE TOILET WHEN THEY GET UP TO USE THE BATHROOM AT 3:30 A.M.! I mean, would you want to end up with your butt in the toilet at 3:30 A.M.? Didn�t think so.
Clean up
Men are neat, while women are clean. To elaborate: A guy�s place may look perfect; for example, all of his �art� is in its place on the shelves, and the floor is empty of shoes, remote controls, and various other dude detritus. But when your girl examines the shelf area under that aforementioned �art,� there�s a 75% chance she�ll come upon a half-inch coating of dust. Girls, on the other hand, may have a pile of to-be-put-away clean clothes on her bedroom floor, but at least their space is clean. Get it? Good.
Be emotionally available
Another frequent complaint, which isn�t as easy to alleviate as the toilet situation. Many of my male brethren have spent a lifetime bottling up their feelings, and it�s hard to open up just like that. You can�t become a totally communicative guy overnight, but she�ll appreciate if you put forth a legitimate effort.
If you tell her you�ll call her on Thursday, call her on Thursday
You�re not in high school anymore. Quit playing head games, and get dialing.
Groom yourself
Based on personal experience, I know women dislike walking down the street with a guy who doesn�t keep his fingernails clipped, or his shirt and pants relatively wrinkle- and hole-free, or his armpits un-stinky.
Put together an original night out
Dinner and a movie? C�mon, you did that last week. And the week before. And the week before that. One more week, and you�ve officially entered Dullsville. Take her bowling, or to a museum� or any place other than to dinner and a movie.
Be romantic
If your girlfriend finds out one of her girlfriend�s boyfriend gave her a dozen �just because� roses � and the only �just because� gift you�ve ever given your girl is a ticket to a Cleveland Indians game � she�ll want to throttle you. And if that�s the case, you�ll deserve a throttling.
